THE GLORY OF GOD ON HIGH!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: ” And the Word became flesh and swelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

“Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. By this power he can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20-21

“Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.” Isaiah 43:7

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Our God is not only glorious but is The Glorious God on High. He is the creator of all the world and the creator of you and me. Sometimes we need to set back and try to absorb what God is telling us in the scriptures above. He is the one and only God and he made us for his glory. We are made to glorify him, not only when we get to heaven, but also here on this earth. He came to this earth in the flesh, in the presence of Jesus, so that we could experience his glory. He lived among us and became our friend. He became our teacher and our example of goodness, love and understanding. He became a sacrifice for us so that you and I could live our lives in the way God intended. We, however, have choices to make. It is one thing to say the words in glorifying God, but it is a totally different thing to live a life that glorifies our God in heaven. We are to walk in his ways and live so that others will follow his ways. We never know who is watching us. If we are telling others we are children of the living God and then lives our lives in the ways of the world, we are lying to those around us and to God. What we say is what we should do. All glory should be going to our God in heaven and not to the world. It is important that we occasionally examine our ways to be sure we are in line with the ways of God. Are we reading his word daily? Are we learning and memorizing scriptures that will help us in our daily lives? Are we praying and praising God on a regular basis? All of these things help us to stay on the path God intends us to be on. It is time to glorify God on earth and in heaven. JESUS IS LORD!
